The Great Barrier Reef or Hawaii?
This term in Year 2, our young learners are developing their persuasive speaking skills by creating spoken texts that express a preference for a particular place or setting. Their goal? To convince their classmates to join them on a trip to their chosen destination!
From the natural wonders of The Great Barrier Reef, to the excitement and thrills of Legoland, the tropical delights of Hawaii, and the peaceful joys of camping in nature, students are exploring a world of possibilities. Each child is bringing their chosen place to life through vivid language, imaginative ideas, and heartfelt persuasion.
Our amazing classroom teachers continue to inspire and engage through Age-Appropriate Pedagogy, transforming learning into meaningful experiences. Whether it’s taking a “charter flight” to the reef, a weekly Tug-O-War, every day is an adventure.
With so many exciting places being passionately presented, it’s going to be a tough decision—where should we go together?
All aboard! Our flight to The Great Barrier Reef is ready for boarding.
We’ve arrived – let’s start to explore!
Year 1 Phonic Check
This term, our Year 1 students will undergo a quick Phonics Check, which will assist our teaching team to confirm whether your child is making their expected progress in reading. The check looks at how well your child can ‘decode’ words – both real and made up or nonsense words. The check takes a few minutes and is designed to be fun, not stressful. We’ll provide more details around the Phonics Check as we get closer to completing this task.
Attendance Matters!
